A Milwaukee man has been sentenced to 144 months in prison for his role in a large-scale methamphetamine trafficking operation.
Travis Lee Young, 47, was sentenced by Chief U.S. District Judge James D. Peterson on charges of possessing with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing methamphetamine and maintaining a drug trafficking place.
Young pleaded guilty to these charges on June 6, 2023. This period of imprisonment will be followed by 5 years of supervised release.
On August 3, 2022, officers arrested Young at a hotel in Eagle River, Wisconsin. Young had been connected to a purchase of methamphetamine two weeks prior at the same hotel.
Inside of Young’s hotel room, officers found over 600 grams of methamphetamine, over 940 M-30 fentanyl pills, and 17 grams of cocaine. These controlled substances were packaged for distribution.
Officers also found a loaded semiautomatic firearm underneath the mattress of the bed. Young’s DNA was found on the firearm. A witness involved in this investigation told officers that they had purchased methamphetamine from Young before.
The same witness had driven Young to and from Milwaukee on drug-related trips around Wisconsin. A search of Young’s cellphone revealed that Young had been having multiple conversations about his drug trafficking.
